A West Meeting Street gas station was robbed Wednesday night, almost two months to the day after another robbery attempt was made there.

According to a Lancaster Police Department incident report, a man came into Westgate Exxon about 9:15 p.m. Wednesday and leaned on the counter. The man told the clerk to give him all the money, “right quick,” the report said.

The clerk said she had just made a deposit and there was not much money in the register.

Directions: From Lancaster, take S.C. South 200 to I-77 South. Take I-77 South to Columbia and follow to I-26 East. Take I-26 East and follow toward Charleston. Watch for Exit 205 B toward Goose Creek, actually U.S. 78. Follow U.S. 78 which passes Charleston Southern University on the left and continue straight. Continue on S.C. 78 to a sign which says U.S. 52 to Goose Creek. It wraps around, but takes you toward Goose Creek. Stay straight for a mile until you get to Red Bank Road. Turn right and go a couple of miles to the school. Stadium is on campus.

It’s no secret the Lancaster High School defense has been a major factor in the playoff-bound Bruins’ 8-3 season.

Senior linebacker Dawan Thompson has played a key role in the LHS stop unit’s sound play.

Through 11 games, Thompson, a North-South All-Star game selection, has racked up 95 tackles, seven sacks, a caused fumble and a fumble recovery, which went for a touchdown in the Bruins’ 9-0 homecoming win over Ridge View.

I stood in the living room of Granny Summers’ house early one Easter Sunday afternoon with my thoughts running wild. The window shades were pulled down and the front door was shut tight.

After a covered-dish, resurrection day dinner that included just about any and everything that Granny, Momma and my five aunts could dream up, I was daydreaming until Aunt Judy’s voice brought me back into reality.

INDIAN LAND – Indian Land residents will have another option for picking up prescription drugs and daily essentials when Walgreens pharmacy opens this summer.

The 14,820-square foot store, located at Jim Wilson Road and Charlotte Highway, is slated to open in the next few months.

Walgreens’ spokesman Robert Elfinger said construction on the building and work on the interior are almost complete, although there are too many variables, such as weather conditions and remaining site work, to say exactly when the store will open.
